General Description
A yellow crystalline solid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor and in the manufacture of other chemicals.

The Hazard fields include special hazard alerts air and water reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and details about reactive groups assignments and potentially incompatible absorbents. The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.
Reactivity Alerts
  • Strong Oxidizing Agent
Air & Water Reactions
Deliquescent. Water soluble
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
INHALATION: Corrosive to skin and mucous membranes causing dermatitis and slow healing ulcers. EYES: Conjunctivitis and lacrimation. INGESTION: Violent gastroenteritis, peripheral vascular collapse, vertigo, muscle cramps, coma, hemorrhagic diathesis, fever, liver damage and renal failure. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
LITHIUM CHROMATE is an oxidizing agent. Can oxidize combustibles (USCG, 1999). Combining the chromate with zirconium can be explosive given the right proportions of reactants, [Z. Anorg., 1930, 191, 113].
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents

Use caution: Liquids with this reactive group classification have been known to react with the absorbents listed below. More info about absorbents, including situations to watch out for...

  • Cellulose-Based Absorbents
  • Expanded Polymeric Absorbents

INHALATION: Move to fresh air.

EYES: Hold lids open and flush immediately with a slow stream of water. Continue for 10 to 15 minutes.

SKIN: Wash with large amounts of water then apply a paste of sodium bicarbonate.

INGESTION: Drink copious amounts of water. Administer a neutralizer like milk of magnesia, calcium hydroxide, etc. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. (USCG, 1999)

The Physical Property fields include properties such as vapor pressure and boiling point, as well as explosive limits and toxic exposure thresholds The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.

Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
